Has it really been TWO MONTHS?


Kendall is two months old. Where has the time gone? She has gone from a blob of a new born, to a full-fledged baby. She is happy and healthy, growing into a big girl. Here is a comparison of her from last month to this month.
Kendall at 1 month

Weight - 9lbs 9oz
Height - 22 3/4 inches
Sounds like - an angry pterodactyl attacking its prey
Likes - tummy time, her thumb (comes in handy when she looses the pacifier), the pacifier, the swing (this is a brand new like and we love it), Sophie, Dr Squeaks, the magical seahorse, bouncing on the exercise ball with daddy, eating
Dislikes - hiccups, dirty diapers (must be changed IMMEDIATELY or she will unleash her wrath), being put down (but getting better with this one)
Things she can do - eat, poop, spit up, pick up her head and move it around (has some control - see below), grab onto shirts/hands/toys, sleep by herself in her crib (up to 5 hours in a stretch! Like mommy, she likes to sleep), smile


Kendall at 2 months

Weight - 12lbs 7oz
Height - 22 1/2 inches (how did she shrink?)
Sounds like - snorts a lot, coos lovingly, and coos angrily at her mobile (more on that later)
Likes - tummy time, her thumb, the soothie pacifier (and only the soothie pacifier), the swing, Sophie, Dr Squeaks, the magical seahorse, bouncing on the exercise ball with daddy, eating, her feet (one day she noticed them, and now can't stop checking them out), her crib, sitting up and facing out to look around the room, a little alone time to put her mobile minions in their place
Dislikes - hiccups, dirty diapers
Things she can do - eat, poop, spit up, put herself to sleep, follow an object (or person) around the room with her eyes and her head, stand assisted, smile (BIG), stick out her tongue (and lick everything)

Kendall has come a long way from the grumpy baby we brought home from the hospital. She still looks just like her daddy, down to the facial expressions. My favorite part of every day is going into pick her up for the morning. She immediately stops fussing and I get HUGE smiles accompanied by cooing talking to me - telling me what she has been doing or wants to do. Every morning. It is the highlight of my day. Then, when daddy comes home at night, she greets him with a big smile as well. She smiles more every day. Can't wait for the laughter to start.

  1. It makes me laugh how every baby I see always looks like the daddy (and I remember someone telling me that's nature's way of letting the dad know it's his baby, haha!). Every one of my friend's kids looks like the dad. I think it's adorable. :)
